Who burned Chicago ? ‘1/’ laid Leary'~ cow, “Listen, 1*11 tell 70a how, 1 kicked over the lamp and burned up Chicago." IS- Forepaagh'a circus is s good one, bat old John Koblnson wields the (ore paw in the circus business of this nation. *0. The Uempbis Appeal is of the opinion that *‘tlie press has superceded stump oratory." Correct A. The people of Portland say Grant is not muoh on a speech, but he can shake hands like anything. Ht~ The Tribune thinks Chicago ought, hereafter, to be a very poor mar ket for shingles. It is announced that Alaska has a superior quality of coal. It is generally understood that that acquisition is cold. IW- The Boston Post says “Grant 1 Indian polioy is specially favorable to the Seneca tribe.” O-jibe-away. ■A. Maggie Mitchell is still dotained at XiongBranch. It is a boy, with which she is playing—not a cricket BQk. The Catholio Churches, of Bos ton, last Sunday, contributed $15,551 to Chicago. IW The health of Queen Victoria, it is said, is improving, and Bhe expects soon to return to public life. No doubt the news falls solemn on the British heir. The Courier-Journal Bays: “A Southern paper lias it, ‘fools are born, not made.”’ Possibly the C.-J. man knows how it is himself. Grant went to Boston to lay the corner stone of the new post office, and then went to Portland to lay himself lia ble to be called the national ass. AW The Western and Atlantic Bail- road used to be regarded as the most valuable property owned by the State, and now it is the leased valuable. IA. The Nashvile Banner says there was only one drunk man in that city last Sunday, and he hailed from Louisville. Having "departed” from the "Bour bon,” he fell by the wayside. aW The Boohester Union says: “Ten years ago Grant was a bankrupt." The Union might have added that in replen ishing his purse, he became bankrupt in everything else. ■S- The Boston Post is fully con vinced that “the President's Portland speech was the most brilliant one of the very remarkable series he has been mak ing.” No doubt of it in tho world. ISu “Bochefort will write what he knows about Napoleon HI.” If Napo leon HI would write wbat he knows about Napoleon in, it would be interest ing reading. JW The Courier-Journal accuses Chi cago of being very proud of having been burned. If this is true of Chicago, she disproves the Proverb which says “pride goeth before destruction," as in her case it comes after. KO. Dreadful news comes from Cl.'oa- go. It is in offect that the woman who owned the cow says “her cow never kicked over a kerosene lamp; that she had lamp, and that she was not in tho stable —being asleep in bed at the time." Tho report is evidently untrue. The woman is only trying to cover her ou a careless ness. The cow did it. That is, tho cow kicked over tho kerosene, and that did the burning. The world believes the story now, and it would be a downright pity ,to have it spoiled. Let the cow alone. Let her low her way down to his tory, coupled with the praises of the non explosive. GEORGIA MATTERS. Savannah mortality hist week—7 whito, 13 colored. A Talbotton bailiff met with opposition in serving some executions, and, accord ing to the American, he says: "If ho goes out there to make a lawful level, and they mouses to incept, if he don’t moke a sacra merit of them he’ll bo darned. The lightning Kukluxed a negro and pair'of line mules near Macon Tuesday evening. A house in Macon was struct the same evening, and six colored in mates shocked. Vincent Beese. McDuffie county.— Crib containing 800 bushels of corn. In cendiary unknown. Six young ladies have entered for the cooking match at tho Columbus Fair. The Augusta Constitutionalist wilt issue an evening edition in that city during Fair week. Tho parade and inspection of the Au ;usta Fair Department, will take place o-morrow. The Athens Watchman speaks 'Jonas Cochran, a free negro." Aren' they all free down that way. Spoaking of the Synod of Georgia, the Athens Watchman says: “This eccle siastical body convened at tho Presbyte rian church in this place on Wednesday last. The introductory sermon was preached by llev. Dr. Wilson, of Atlan ta. Bev. A. W. Clisby was elected Mod erator, and Bev. Messrs. Stacy and Kotchum Clerks. Tho attendance was not full. The body adjourned on Mon day. NASHVILLE. Gov. Bullock as a Sleeping Companion— II* Goes to New York-Ttnncm-c Leg* filature—Gen# Breckcnridge, «Stc. SSK. The Knoxville Chronicle has long article under the head of “A Merce nary Press.” Without haviog read the article, it is reasonable to suppose the Chronicle is only writing the history of the Badical press of Tennessee. ■A. The New York Sun, a thorough bred Badical paper, propounds this co nundrum; “Tho Ku-Klux law leaves certain matters entirely to tho judgment of the President The President having no judgment, is not the law invalid? ’ Some of the papers ara objecting to the course of Mrs. Spencer, the Wash ington social reformer, in fitting the re claimed “doves” for the lecture stage. Why? Certainly, they are as fit for it os many of their sex who are already on it yp- xhc Cincinnati Times anil Chroni cle insists upon the correctness of the old truism, that “ virtue is always its own reward.” The C. and T., however, is entirely destitute of any “reward” of that kind. !&• Mr. Darwin is said to bo engaged in a work in which the facial expression of animals will bo the chief topic of dis cussion. It is n pity that Mr. Darwin baa not a gloss in which he could study his own “facial expression,” and sco himself ass others see him. ■gL “President Grant declines attend ing the reunion of the Society of the Anny of the Cumberland, at Detroit, on the 15th and 16th of November.” He was so much exhausted by bis recent Portland orqtion that be don’t think he will recover in time to go to Michigan. OO- The Paducah Kentuckian denomi nates it* military role in South Carolina “a reign of terror.” The question,how ever, is, do not the people of South Car olina prefer this “reign” to the rain of carpet-baggers which has been coming down upon them ever since the war ? The LaFsyette (Indiana) Journal says: “The President has returned to Washington city. Now we hope the Democratic pres* will rest easy.” Doubt less the Journal means that it hopes the Democratic press will let Grant “real easy." But it won’t The Portland speech is still sounding. nq. The New York Telegram sayK— “The Star made Mrs. Baudmann play Desdemona to Mr. Bandmann's Sbylock. Shades of Shakespeare, what snperlativo ignorance.” Where ia the "igno rance” of it, since many a husband has played Sbylock while their wives wept tike Deademonas, and yet oould not get the money ? At 10 o clock Monday night, Jimmie Cook, of sleeping cur notoriety, took charge of your humble servant, and stowed him away in a capacious and clean berth. Everything promised well for a good night’s rest, until I saw Hi Excellency, B. B. “skinning” liimseh and quietly coiling up in the opposite berth. Then my fears began to get the better of me, because, in the first place, I am not used to sleeping so ciosa to royalty, and then I didn’t know how a live Governor behaved himself during his slumbers. Then visions of Kuklux— tbe nasty things might overshoot the mark and kill an honest boy. These, and kindred fan cies flitted before my mind’s oye until the commingled wheezes of the en gine and the loud and deep respiration of B. B. produced a somnambulic stupor, and when my eyes again opened, tbe Governor was half-way in his unmen tionables, sitting on tbe side of bis berth, tugging nt his boot and looking as “child like and bland”as it wns possible forl- ; ui do. Arriving at Stephenson, wo nil got out the mud ..lid went to breakfast. No ono knew who tbe Governor was. Ho was «'» cog, wearing an old slouch cap, greasy gray coat, and ridi jg in tho smok ing car. He was accompanied by bis uncle Brown—all, yes, Brown wns there —his privnto clerk, and one or two others. I learn that he is on his way to New York. He passed through this city—without stopping. I was also informed that he world return in about a week. I wonder what he is making this “heavy run” at this time for ? Going to New York and bock in such hot haste just before tbe meoting of tho Legisla ture ? Can it be that bis message is al ready prepared ? Is he making tho trip for fun, or pleasure, or profit, or bos he some big scheme on foot ? Impposcwo shall soon know. Nashville is dull—unusually so. Money is very tight, and, of course, trade suffers. The Legislature is in session, and work ing well. Tho amount of business to he transacted in tho allotcd timo is immense. Gov. Brown read his messago to that body yesterday. It comes straight to the point, and sounds like business. The Legislature is largely Domocrutic—only nbout flftcon Badicals—all told. Gen. Breckinridge is here, and to-day somo of his friends tendered him a din ner. Tho old hero looks splendidly, and is hopeful of tho future. lie made no speech, but simply had a quiet chat with his friends. He is a splendid specimen of the true South ern gentleman. The weather, to-night, is June-like, very unseasonable. Tho Grey Theatrical Troupe is here, “doing” the “Black Crook.” It may prove a success, but the chances, at pres ent, are against such a termination. Nashville is jolly over the success of tho horse “Tennessee," in the recent races in your city. Atlanta. pi, with portions Of Alabama, already have appreciated this, pud from this pr nt ora principally drawn their supplies. Why should not Georgia follow the e ample of her sisters ? Many of this peo plo are, nud have been, in sympathy with yarn's—their hearts were enlisted with tho South in her great struggle, and they stand ready to otter all tho inducements that can possibly be demanded, and that too, more readily tl an those from any other city from wlienoclyou are obtaining such supplier as you have to purchrae from a distant market—both from the fact that this is the most abundant coun try, and that oar merchants are more able to grant snch indulgences as the condition of tho South demands. OUB FAIR. Tho great event of tho year, and the grandest exhibition of tbe kind in the world, is just over. And to say that ii was a success, is but to report the unaui mous opinion of one hundred thousand visitors. It lsated for one week, and each day its grounds and halls, and its grand amphitheatre, was crowded to thoir ut most capacity. The display of stock and machinery, to say nothing of tho exquisite work per formed by fingers; the delicacies of the housewife; in fact, everything clso that was on exhibition, would havo am] ‘ compensated the plantor of the South tho trouble and expense of a visit. This exhibition, presided over os it is by a gentleman, young, accomplished and en ergetic, ArthurB. Barrett, Esq., is dos fined to becomo ono of international im portance, and cannot fail to bo instru mental in affecting great good. MEHTINO OF LEGISLATURE. Tho timo is nigh at hand for tho meet ing of the Georgia Legislature. I am now a Missourian, but can never cease to feel a deep interest in tho affairs of my nativo State. Yes, dear old Georgia! An empire framed for tho virtue of her women and tho chivalry of her men; I would exult iu her prosperity, os I have humbly shared, and sincerely mourned over her desolation. I hope wise coun sets may prevail in the coming session, and that an era of prosperity muy again bo inaugurated. JOSEPH D. CLUiUNO, ESq., is, I learn, among tbe names suggested for Speaker of tho House. I would like to urge his eminent fitn s. I have known Major Gumming from boyhood, and of him I cun speak from u Jong acquaint ance. Ilia intrinsic worth entitles his claims to peculiar consideration. A man of decided talent, cultivated to the fullest extent, possessed of a mind clear and well-balanced; of great common sense, good judgment, courteous and urbane; accomplished in tho forum and gallant on the field—in a word, with rare capaci ty to discern the right and firmness to maintain it, I know of none so well fitted to preside over a deliberative assembly. Let me, however, urge your people to organize for tbe coming contest of ’72.— It is the most important that ever en gaged the attention of the American peo ple. Let eve y man, thcD, goto work and do his waole duty. A Native Georgian. miscellaneous. jarge Auction Sale Real Estate, in Atlanta. WEDNESDAY, Nov* F it i IBANK M.
